Stocks give up some recent gains ahead of Fed meeting

Investors gave up some of their big gains Wednesday as they awaited the conclusion of the Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting.

 

The Fed is expected to leave rates at their current historically low level following its two-day meeting, but the market is anxious to see how the central bank assesses the economy in its statement accompanying the rate decision. Investors also want to know if the Fed has any further moves planned to help boost the economy.

Today’s SmallCapVoice.com Hot Stocks to Watch:

 

Ronn Motor Company, Inc. (OTC BB: RNNM)

 

RNNM is trending higher on increased trading volume

 

In the small cap arena, successes often come in what appears to be one instant manifestation, as if it happened sporadically overnight. The truth is these major announcements are more often a testament to the smaller daily achievements of a company and the skillful execution of their business plan. Corporate officers and shareholders simultaneously await such breakthrough moments which can provide a seminal entry point for a company or the catalyst to greater successes. An announcement released yesterday by Ronn Motor Co., creator of the H2GO system which enhances fuel efficiency and can be added to existing vehicles and vehicle fleets, may indeed qualify as the proverbial breakthrough deal.

 

The announcement confirms the acceptance of the H2GO system by Frigette, one of the world's largest independent manufacturers of automotive air conditioners, microprocessor powered cruise controls, and other state-of-the-art automotive parts. Not only does this agreement give Ronn broad distribution with an industry leader in their desired market, it also creates third party credibility, sending a signal to others in the space that Ronn is for real. As a company already known for creating a supercar that pairs 40 mile per gallon fuel efficiency with 200 mile per hour top speed, this bold entry into the parts market is a major corporate benchmark.

 

The news also arrives in what is shaping up to be a watershed month for Ronn Motor Co., which only last week announced a test drive of their flagship vehicle, The Scorpion, by California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Given Schwarzenegger's past history in sending the Hummer into the pop culture stratosphere, his personal interest and test drive are likely more important than the everyday photo-op.

 

Sports Supplement Group, Inc. (OTC BB: SRSP)

 

SRSP is starting to trend higher on increased trading volume

 

Sports Supplement Group Inc. (Owner of ERGOPHARM Performance Nutrition) is a sales and marketing company formed to acquire brands and companies currently operating in the sports performance and weight management markets. Since its formation, Sports Supplement Group has been actively engaged in seeking out companies that management believes would integrate efficiently into its portfolio.
